The iPad Mini launched a while ago and iFixit has posted its teardown of the iPad Mini. The team found the iPad Mini to not be easily repairable. They gave the iPad Mini a score of two out of 10. They note that the iPad Mini does get some things right, like the glass and LCD are not fused together which makes replacing the screen an easy task. The problems come in when you get to taking the entire device apart. All of the components are attached via “copious amounts of adhesive” which makes any repair extremely difficult.
